adoption process
Thank you for your consideration in adopting a horse. It is our intention to place each and every horse into a home where not only the horses basic needs will be met but the horse will find a forever home that it can emotionally and mentally flourish.
RCER does not post horses until they are ready to be placed into a new home. Sometimes a horse comes to us in an emaciated or poor condition. Our goal is to have all of our horses in good weight, vaccinated, teeth floated and their feet trimmed before placement.
When dealing with court cases, the animal will not be listed until the case is resolved.
Many of these horses have been through very difficult times and it is our responsibility to do the very best that we can to insure that each horse is placed into the perfect home. We are looking out for the horses best interest. If at any point we feel that the potential home is not optimal we may not approve the adoption of that horse or suggest a horse that is more appropriate (if available) that will thrive in your home.
STEP 1
Fill out an adoption application. Only fully completed adoption applications with references will be considered for approved.
STEP 2
Make an appointment to visit the horse you are interested in. This "meet and greet" time will give you a chance determine how well you and this horse connect.
STEP 3
If your adoption application has been approved and you have decided that this is the perfect horse for you, confirm through email or phone that you would like to adopt the horse.
STEP 3
Sign the adoption contract and pay the adoption fee. This usually occurs at the time of pickup.
STEP 4
You will be responsible to make arrangements for your horse to be transported.
The horse will remain available for adoption until step 3 has been completed.
Congratulations! We are so happy that you have found the perfect horse. We love it when a RCER horse finds a new home and we hope you will send us updates and let us know how you are both doing.
Below are pictures of a few of our past horses that were involved in criminal cases and were placed in our care for rehab and placement after court custody was granted to RCER.
The horses pictured have found their forever homes.
